Connecting the Palm Lifedrive to S2 Skypephone

Some brief notes which I might later expand.

First I set up the Bluetooth pairing between the two devices and set the Lifedrive as "authorised" on the S2.

Then set up a connection on the Lifedrive in Preferences>Connection> and create a new one with a name of your choice.

The device used is the name the S2 gave in bluetooth pairing, it was "unnamed device" in my case.

For some odd reason the dial string on the Lifedrive had to be *99***1# (*99***2# was my first go and didn't work).

This is all to make better use of the "free" Three data with a PAYG top up.

Bluetooth - Belkin Fantastic !

I've never had so little trouble with a technology purchase !

My laptop had a cheap low profile Bluetooth dongle. It didn't have a full range of Bluetooth facilities compared with others so I spent seven pounds on a Belkin Mini Bluetooth adaptor. It seems to be called B001BROKXO (snappy huh !).

Installed the disk, paired with a couple of phones and.... it just worked.

Very good software, seems to do everything.

One happy customer.
